RECOMMENDATION?

What a coincidence. On the op-ed page of Aug. 2, the subject of David Broder`s column was the cultural tastes of governors in the `60s and `70s compared with governors today.

He cited the academic achievements of governors attending the annual summer meeting of the National Governors` Association held recently in Chicago. He emphasized not only the large number of governors with graduate degrees, but also the variety of fields in which they were achieved.

Right next to Broder`s column was a piece by Morris Freedman who says that it is time for higher education to establish a code of ethics. He said that in his career as a graduate student, professor and administrator, ''I don`t think I have seen another period in which professors and administrators have been so indifferent to honesty, propriety, justice, honor and even to the law itself.''
